This longstanding problem is driving me crazy!
I cannot access one of the computers on my simple, two computer network
which uses a router. Both computers run WinXP.
Computer 1 can access shared files on Computer 2.
Computer 2 cannot even ping Computer 1.
There are no firewalls on either system.
All drivers are up to date.
I have checked and rechecked the network setup, read and tried everything I
could find and failed to find an answer. (Computer 2 has even had a format
and reinstall since this all started.)
If I look in "computer management - event viewer - system" I find the
following messages:
MRxSmb (frequent error)
"The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer
MOOGKP that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on
transport NetBT_Tcpip_{29219B99-4CA0-4E96-9B. The master browser is stopping
or an election is being forced." (Note: MOOGKP is the computer I am unable
to see.)
DCOM (frequent error)
"DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer srv using any of the
configured protocols."
BROWSER (occasional error)
"The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times
on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{4BD099AD-8582-4B9A-A611-F52DA385803C}. The
backup browser is stopping."
or

error code."
Dhcp (occasional error)
